My name is Maggie Moore and this year will be my fourth consecutive year participating in Charlotte's Swim Across America event! The funds raised from Charlotte's SAA support cancer research at Levine's Cancer Institute. 

I swim because it gives me the opportunity to honor and celebrate the joy that my grandmother brought to this world. My grandmother was kind, funny, smart, and compassionate woman. She touched the hearts of so many people with her friendship and love. She continues to be my biggest role model and someone who I will look up to forever. My grandmother was also a victim of glioblastoma, an aggressive and fatal brain cancer. There is also no known  cure or good treatment for it as of now. Organizations like SAA offer hope for the discovery of possible treatments for glioblastoma. 

My grandmother made this world a brighter place and now it is my chance to follow in her footsteps. Please consider donating so we can make waves to fight against cancer!
